U.S Restrictions (Requesting Solutions)
Hi Guys, I'm a steam user from Middle East. I use the Arab Bank visa, which looks to be banned on steam to purchase items and games, so I need a solution, can anyone provide any please?!
Thank you.

Note* I've enough money to buy the game I want, nothing stops me but the restrictions.
Thanks again.

Link your card to PayPal and use that to purchase your games?

Buy Prepaid?

Ask Support if your bank is indeed not accepted.

I didn't understand what does that suppose to mean?

Not needed, just create a PayPal account and link your Visa card to it.

Just tried to do that, Couldn't.
looks like PayPal doesn't deal with the bank am client in. I dunno what's wrong, but whenever I put my visa information it just refuses it.

Sorry, what I mean earlier in post #3 (I quoted the wrong post) is are you sure your bank is not accepted by Steam? Have you spoken with Support?

Create an account (with different login info) here:
https://support.steampowered.com/register.php

Create a Ticket and follow the prompts. It could be a wait of several days or longer.
